Sony is making a long-awaited effort to shore up security on the PlayStation Network — the company is planning to add two-factor authentication to the service, Sony confirmed to Polygon today.

"In order to further safeguard our users and their accounts, we are preparing to offer a 2-step verification feature," a Sony representative said.

The spokesperson did not offer a time frame at this point, saying only that "more details will be shared at a later date." Sony updated the PS3's firmware to version 4.80 yesterday, and users noticed that if they entered incorrect login information, the system mentioned two-step verification — which isn't currently available on PlayStation Network accounts. Those accounts are used on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, the web, the PlayStation mobile app and the PlayStation Portable.

It should have been one of their number one priorities after the big Hack. I wonder what finally brought this on.

 

[occelinho]

I must be dreaming.

It took them over five years.

Wow.

 

[Live Free or Die]

Yep, post about this earlier http://neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1209838

 

[sjay1994]

Thanks Spiderman!

 

[FarFromAnyGame]

it's late but I think it's a good thing seeing them figuring out how to modernize PSN. That network architecture is a mess!

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Bout fucking time. It's insane that it has taken them this long. They should have done this after the hacks.

 

[-shadow-]

Really weird that it took so long, but lets hope that we won't be seeing these topics popup anymore now that Sony has finally added this in!

[Jeronimo Jones]

That sure took a while, but glad it's in the works.

 

[jennetics]

Hell...it's about time.

 

[FullMetaltech]

I wonder if the whole restructuring helped by making it easier to handle tasks like this. Finally.

 

[Rembrandt]

It took them over five years.

Wow.

That's ridiculous but better late than never.

 

[Birgitte2004]

Finally. "PSN sucks" is more a cliche than reality by this point, but this should have been added a long time ago.

 

[Undead Fantasy]

About damn time.

Hopefully PSN ID change is next.

 

[The Elite]

Spectacular Spectacular spider-Man!
Spectacular Spcetacular,
Spider-Man!

Disappointed I wasn't thanked personally.

 

[Menitta]

Pardon my ignorance, but why is being able to change PSN names such a desired thing?

 

[CreeperBlocks]

YAY Good Job Sony!

 

[Byvar]

Wow, finally. Guess Sony was getting tired of all the Spidermen getting their accounts hacked.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Nice!

PSN name changes at E3 would really get the hype going though!

 

[shmoglish]

Now it needs two steps to see that Psn is down.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Took them long enough. Its finally happening.

 

[Indelible]

Glad to hear but why did it take them so long?.

 

[The Elite]

Pardon my ignorance, but why is being able to change PSN names such a desired thing?

Buttsex669 tried anal sex and wasn't that into it.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Good. Im sick of sweating bullets every time I read someone has been hacked on here.

 

[FullMetaltech]

Pardon my ignorance, but why is being able to change PSN names such a desired thing?

Some people made PSn names they didn't like or names were taken already before so they had to settle for something else.
